Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup natural smooth peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons Medjool dates chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  • Using a large mixing bowl and a rubber spatula (or your hands!), combine/mix everything together until well combined and everything is sticking together. If your mix seems to crumbly or dry, add more peanut butter and/or honey or maple syrup. Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop out and form and shape into balls.
  • Storing: if making a big batch, store in a freezer safe container or gallon sized ziploc bag. If enjoying right away, simply store in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

If storing in the freezer, simply transfer to the fridge the night before to enjoy the next day.
Alternatives for the ingredients:
  1. you can use gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
  2. instead of peanut butter, you can use cashew or almond butter
  3. instead of the Medjool dates, you can use raisins or golden raisins or even dried cranberries. Use any dried fruit you like!
